ABSTRACT
SUMMARY:
The rapid advances of omics technologies have generated abundant genomic data in public repositories and effective analytical approaches are critical to fully decipher biological knowledge inside these data. Meta-analysis combines multiple studies of a related hypothesis to improve statistical power, accuracy and reproducibility beyond individual study analysis. To date, many transcriptomic meta-analysis methods have been developed, yet few thoughtful guidelines exist. Here, we introduce a comprehensive analytical pipeline and browser-based software suite, called MetaOmics, to meta-analyze multiple transcriptomic studies for various biological purposes, including quality control, differential expression analysis, pathway enrichment analysis, differential co-expression network analysis, prediction, clustering and dimension reduction. The pipeline includes many public as well as >10 in-house transcriptomic meta-analytic methods with data-driven and biological-aim-driven strategies, hands-on protocols, an intuitive user interface and step-by-step instructions. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION MetaOmics is freely available at https//github.com/metaOmics/metaOmics. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.
